Now I'm reading The Curse of Copernicus (I translated the title, the original is "Der Fluch des Kopernicus", I don't know the english version title) by Phillips Vandenberg... is really good, by I can't recomend it until I finish it...
I want to read Breakfast for Champions, which seems to be pretty great. And Then There Were None, and The Catcher in the Rye as well, because they're classics.

Breakfast of Champions is as funny as it is depressing. The best two Vonnegut books, however, are Slaughterhouse Five and Cat's Cradle. Then Hocus Pocus. But Slaughterhouse Five I think is the best first book of his to read to get an impression of how he writes.
I just read it - I did like it, but he killed off lots of main characters. I was going to start book 2 today but I don't have it. I have 3 and 4 but no 2. ugh
So I started book 3 of The Enduring Flame, The Phoenix Transformed.

Give, expecting nothing thereof. ------------ BoD - Come have some fun! Folks will always come and go, so enjoy them while they're meant to be in your life.
I just recieved my order of the "Diablo Archive" and "The Sin War-trilogy". I haven't read a book in it's entirety since my 2nd year in high school, which was 5 years ago. I'm more of a Diablo-fan than Warcraft-fan, even though I've spent 3 or 4 years playing WoW, so I'm really looking forward to reading these books!
Oh yeah, just about everytime I read a book I fall asleep after about 4-5 pages, no matter the font size..
Desperation by Stephen King is pretty good as well. I read it as well, it's pretty... fucking disturbing. A great read, and it'll leave you puzzled, but it's good.

PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

I haven't been here in a while. I recently bought a Dictionary of Symbols and Rhyming Dictionary (reference material). Let's see... Terrifying Tales: Stories of the Occult from Around the World, Do's and Taboos of Using English Around the World by Roger E. Axtell, The Wild Things by Dave Eggers, The Grammar of Warfare, A Distant Mirror: The Calamitous 14th Century by Barbara W. Tuchman, Punishment by Rabindranath Tagore (translated by William Radice), The Road to Salvation by Premchand (Dhanpat Rai Shrivastava), Breat-Giver by Mahasweta Devi (translated by Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak), and The Rooftop Dwellers by Anita Desai (this one was really good).
Laws of magic by Terry Goodkind , i'm a total ADDICT to his Fantasy i can't stop reading them.. there are 11 books (around 700 pages each) and one Prologue Book
atm im reading book number 7 (Laws of Magic : The Pillars of Creation)
the books are about:
Richard Cypher a joung woodsman
Kahlan amnell the mother Confessor!
and Zeddicus Z'ul Zorander! (the funniest character :P)
i wont tell to much but it has alot of it's own fantasy in it Gars , Magic etc
and Richard has a destiny in the first book to Kill Darken Rahl the evil leader of Dhara (this is not for children, i must add)
Do you watch the TV-Series Legend of the Seeker than?
I am almost done with The Name of the Wind by patrick rothfuss, very good so far.
Finally picked up The Gathering Storm (book 11 of Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson)). Amazing series for anyone who likes fantasy. First few novels are..kinda boring, but the story picks up.
Yeah, I know, I've been reading a lot of Sanderson recently, I'm finding his take on fantasy amazing and fresh. All of those links have the first chapter/prologue available to read online, if anybody is interested.
Anyone read Cell by Stephen King?
It's quite good, the movie The Happening is based on it. Too bad the movie sucked. <.<
I read that a few years ago, I had no idea The Happening was based off of it.
Decidedly not Cell related: If anyone wants a good, quick read (small book) I found this gem a few years ago. I Am The Messanger, I guarantee you, will make you smile and feel generally awesome about being whoever you are.
Today I finished World War Z by Max Brooks. Its a really good book if you are interested in zombie apocalypse type fiction. I also really liked the writing style; the book is broken up into small interviews with people.
Now I have to read A Clockwork Orange, by Anthony Burgess, which I really don't know anything about, but I hear its pretty fucked up.

I think that's about the only way you could possibly describe that book after your description

Recently read through the Mistborn trilogy (Brandon Sanderson), was fantastic. Finished Elantris (Brandon Sanderson)on Saturday, started reading The Black Road (Mel Odom, Diablo novel) on Monday, and the next book I plan on reading will be most likely Warbreaker (Brandon Sanderson.)
